How can I include external jar on my Netbeans project

Question

When I run \"clean and build\" the .jar file that is being created only runs if the lib folder is at the same folder of the .jar file.

Answer 1

Copy that jar file to:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk\jre\lib\ext

and

C:\Program Files\Java\jre\lib\ext

You should be able to use it in Netbeans and in your manual imports, just like standard imports.
